Michael Moore Says US in 'Dark Ages' Due to Christian Right; Dawkins Says Obama 'Surely' an Atheist
The Christian Post ^ | October 27, 2013 | Anugrah Kumar

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore told "Real Time" show host Bill Maher that the United States is in the "dark ages" because of the Christian Right, comparing Christian extremism with Islamic extremism. In the same show, skeptic Richard Dawkins said he is sure President Obama is an atheist.

The panel, comprising of Moore, Britain's Dawkins, CIA operative Valerie Plame and Baptist minister and civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, discussed how radical Islam has affected science and culture on Maher's show Friday night.

"Liberals somehow feel worried that they're going to be called racist if they criticize people of the Muslim faith, which is stupid," Maher said, directing the discussion.

Moore, a Catholic, however, suggested that the United States needed to be "casting out the log in our own eye," saying some Christians had also caused damage to the nation.

"You've talked about this for years," Moore told Maher, referring to anti-Islamism. "Since 1980, the policies in this country have been driven by the Christian right. They took over and they turned this country into the dark ages and we're so far behind now with science, education, health care, everything."

Moore, who was once described by The Associated Press as being known for his "fiery left-wing populism," also told the host, "There are Christians out there tonight who wanna kill you and me." Maher responded, "But they don't." That's because they can't," Plame added....

There is a school of thought in this country that is so far out in left field it makes little sense to even respond to their lunatic rantings.

"Michael Moore Says US in 'Dark Ages' Due to Christian Right"

The US is in the 'Dark Ages' because Michael Moore's bloated body is blocking the sun.

This lardass hasn’t croaked yet? What the hell is he waiting for? He’s wasting food and oxygen. The children in Hungary are starving because of him.

Michael Moore...a “man of the people” who’s worth $50 million.As for Osama Obama being an atheist....I’ve been saying that from the very beginning.Yes,he was probably brought up a moslem but I believe he left that behind long ago.And I have no doubt whatsoever that he’s *never* been a Christian despite any claims to the contrary he might make.

Does anyone else find it ironic that his name is Michael? One of the few named angels of the Bible. The name declares “Who is like the Lord?!?!”

I do agree with Dawkins about Obama who merely joined Jeremiah Wright’s “church” for politically expedient reasons.
